IMO, I would have rather watched a movie...AND not necessarily for cash. I don't know if any of the creators care so much for that more than their creation. The TV show is good also, don't get me wrong, but you could have a flop when not enough money is put into it to fully develop the storyline. What comes to mind is Stephen King, for example. Great books, crappy TV movies and long boring stories developing too much characters. Either media I can do with as long as the integrity of the story is not compromised due to budgeting...then again, movies can be tainted by Hollywood execs big time...would also hate that to spoil such creativity.
